These podcasts are getting better and better with each passing episode, guys!

You picked a really interesting theme by delving into the MOTU/dragons mythos. I found it particularly interesting when you drew parallels between the MOTU "The Dragon's Gift" and She-Ra "Darksmoke and Fire" episodes. I've never thought about it like that before. Maybe JMS really is that much of a stickler for continuity.

As far as my favourite dragon goes I'd have to pick Granamyr. Sorrowful takes second place because my little girl loves to sit down and watch that episode.

I'd have to say "The Dragon Invasion" is my favourite dragon-centric episode, mostly for nostalgic reasons. It was released on VHS in the UK way back when and I must have watched it a gazillion times.

A little update: episode 14 that discusses the new comic and episode 15 being a special on the SDCC reveals with particular focus on Vykron are now up.

Just a little note about it: all of us at TGR are thrilled about Vykron and some are a bit surprised that many fans don't love that guy as much. However, to quote Joe Amato from the podcast, we obviously fully respect those who have a different opinion from ours, so please don't take our enthusiasm during the show in a bad way.

I listed to episode 15 last night and it was all about playlets instead of SDCC. Was the episode mislabeled?

It was mislabeled. It is correct now, with 14 being about DC comics and 15 is about the SDCC exclusive Vykron. Let us know what you think of the SDCC episode. By the way, what did you think of the playset episode?

I thought it was hilarious. I loved the part about the 9-volt battery. Glad you got the microphone working.

EDIT:
Joe beat me in answering the question!

Thanks for letting me know! I'll download the SDCC episode and listen to it now. Your podcasts are always fun to listen to; loved the dragon episode from a few weeks back, btw.

Glad you liked the playset episode. And I did have fun searching for that 9 volt battery and getting Snake Mountain to work. It was a spur of the moment thing.

And you are right Eurocoin 14 is DC comics, 15 SDCC, and 16 will be about the playsets. My bad.

No worries; it's all good. Thanks for doing the podcasts. It is fun to have the different podcasts that both your crew and Val and his crew put together. As an aside, I've introduced my kids to Masters (as of a couple years ago) and they like it quite a bit. My son is sitting next to me playing with his new Wind Raider, piloted by a 200X He-Man, who is fighting MOTUC Clawful and Webstor. When Vykron was unveiled the other day my son said, "Hey Dad... who is that guy?" When I said "I don't know," he said, "well, maybe Pixel-Dan will know." Pretty funny...

Sounds like your kids will become big MOTU fans. And I see your son knows Pixel Dan. That is pretty cool!

Thanks; here's to hoping a whole new set of younglings besides ours get introduced to MOTU in this 30th anniversary year. I already know the new comic will be a hit at our house.

BTW: I think that in every episode of your podcast the guys on your show should put you on the spot and have you flesh out a cool idea (on-the-fly) for a new way to boost awareness of MOTU. I think you have some cool ideas and you never know what might "click" with the powers that be. Plus, you could go head to head against Crespo's "rant." Ha! (Not sure if I spelled his name right.)

Yeah it is always great seeing new generations of fans being introduced to MOTU. And yes I love your idea of being "put on the spot". I love giving my ideas on so many things. And yes you spelled Crespo's name correctly.

Cool; glad you like the idea. Hopefully you guys will do it. I'll listen for it in the future podcasts.
